Marbleneophyte Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'm pretty sure this is Akro but I've been pretty sure before and been pretty wrong 😁! Thoughts? Does it have a special name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I think there is general agreement now that it is Akro. I have probably seen it called some name other than "Akro patch", but I don't think the name has caught on. Or maybe some name has caught on more than I know. I'll wait with you!

Ric Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 IMO, it's an extra nice example with that darker yellow color. No specific name that I know of - maybe should be called an Alley Oops. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 My not catching on name is notoriously dug at alley Akro patches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Roberto Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Yes,...in the past they were called Alley patch, (with that blue spot, but the base was covered with moss) as they were found in fair quantities at the Alley site, later known to be Akro.

akroorka Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I will just commit to it being an Akro---the name?---"Very Nice". Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Roberto Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Known as the "Sistersville patch", (formerly) for the above reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Great information! Thanks y'all! So I Googled "Akro Sisterville Patch" and up popped a Marbleconnection link. It took me to a posting that Steph made June 15, 2010 that features photos and a narrative by Ron about marbles found at Sistersville. A very interesting read. The story of my Sistersville patch is not nearly as intriguing. Mine came from the bottom of a jar filled with overpriced Asian Cat Eyes, but I still think it's pretty cool that I now won one! I love the history. Thanks again guys for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
